Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles as Contrast Agents for Proton and Dual Proton/Fluorine MRI

Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles as Contrast Agents for Proton and Dual Proton/Fluorine MRI

Gold nanoparticles carrying fluorinated ligands in their monolayer are, by themselves, contrast agents for <sup>19</sup>F magnetic resonance imaging displaying high sensitivity because of the high density of fluorine nuclei achievable by grafting suitable ligands on the gold core surface...
